Ever thought you could create a great TV comedy show? Something better than the usual fodder we have to look at each day? Now’s your chance to prove it with the Xbox Live Originals contest.
Microsoft and the New York Television Festival are giving aspiring television producers the opportunity to create a pilot that could be chosen for the first original series developed specifically for the Xbox Live network. Microsoft will award the winning entrant a $100,000 budget and the opportunity for a six-episode commitment to air the television series on Xbox Live.
The pilot will debut in the autumn at the third annual New York Television Festival, before being featured exclusively on Xbox Live.
“Not only can aspiring TV producers from across the globe try their hands at creating new TV shows, but because of Xbox LIVE Marketplace, they can now win a chance to have more than 6 million people worldwide see their work,” said Bill Nielsen, senior director of Xbox LIVE at Microsoft. “This is an incredible opportunity for us to participate in the festival, and we are thrilled to be able to bring community-created TV content to the Xbox community for the first time.“
The comedy pilot, running between five and fifteen minutes, should be submitted before June 29, 2007 and submissions will be accepted from contestants within any of the 25 countries currently supporting Xbox Live. Official rules to the Xbox LIVE Originals contest are available at newyorktelevisionfestival.com.
